PINNED HIM TO THE BARN DOOR. lJgly Experience of a Farmer Ends Satisfactorily-. A remarkable adventure with a blooded bull is reported from Richmond, Indiana. Wm. Martin, one of the oldest and richest farmers in the State, was going along a lane on his farm, accompanied by his ten-year-old son, leading by a ring and rope a large blooded I bull, which had always been regarded as per- fectly docile. Near the end of the lane is a „ hay barn, and as the little procession was passing it the bull, with a hoarse bellow, rushed at the old farmer, and catching him on his horns pinioned him against the barn. The boy was terribly frightened, but the farmer did not lose his presence of mind. The angry animal, when it turned and caught the farmer, had, instead of goring him, pressed one of its horns on either side of his legs just below the hips, and, with flashing eyes, waving tail, and curved spine, stood pressing his sharp horns ieeper and deeper into the boards at the old oian's back. The farmer, although he did not expect to escape with his life, remained as Bool as if simply milking a cow. He told his son to run home and get the gun. The house was a quarter of a mile away, and the boy ran some distance, when the tanner happened to remember that there was a stout long tined pitchfork in the barn against which the bull was squeezing him tighter and tighter. He called the boy back and told him to get the pitchfork. When the boy returned with the fork, the farmer directed him to the left side of the bull, pointed out to him about where the animal's heart lay beneath the thick hide, and told him to place the tines softly against the bull's side at that spot. These orders were all given with the greatest coolness and deli- beration by the farmer, who was by this time covered with the fo?m that flew fromthe mouth of the enraged bull. When the boy had placed the fork against the bull's side, the farmer said, "Now, push quick. with- all your might and main, if you love me, Tom." The hoy thrust with all his might against the handle or the fork, running the tines their entire length into the bull's side. The animal dropped to his knees as if he had been shot, and with one tremendous bellow rolled over on his side dead. The tines had passed clean through his heart. The old farmer, as the bull's horns withdrew from the planks, fell forward insensible, and it was then discovered that the bull had torn his right leg-ploughed it furrow half an inch deep. So that all the time the farmer appeared so cool and self- possessed he had been suffering the most excruciating pain. For a. man over 80 years of age this exhibition of pluck and coolness titHieidered remarkable.

FOR ASSISTANT INSPECTORS. Cardiff Health Committee Considers Merits of Applicants. A special meeting of the Cardiff Health Com- mittee was held at the Town-hall this morning under the presidency of Mr. Councillor Brain.— Mr. Clarke, of Newport-road, wrote complain- ing of the stench arising' from the drains at Nos. 190 and 192, Newport-road. The writer pointed out that witbin a limited area of these houses typhoid fever, diphtheria, and other fevers had been prevalent for a long time. and whether such cases had been reported to the medical officer of health or not he (the writer) was in a Eosition to give particulars of several cases that ave occurred in the vicinity:—Dr. Walford stated that no cases of illness that could be attrributed to the drainage had been reported from this neighbourhood, and that the property had been inspected, showing that there were no defects in the drains.—It was resolved to inti- mate to Mr. Clarke that the committee were satisfied that there were no defective drains in the neighbourhood complained of, and to afford him an opportunity giving particulars of the fever cases which, as he had stated, had ceme under his knowledge.— Fifty applications were received for the post of third-class inspecter of auisances, and out of these three applicants IVøre selected to appear before the committee. there was no other business.

The King of Games. CHIPS FROM BLOCKS FAR AND NEAR. Gossip from Every Point of the Compass. Now, all jyou lads, good sport who love, Come listen unto me. I'll tell you just the likely scores This afternoon will see. My tips a-re framed, and safely you Upon them may rely. You'll bless the man who spun 'em out, In the sweet by and bye. First, Cardiff versus District claims Of course the premier place. You'll not expect the District to Outrun 'em in the race. A clinking game will Cardiff have, And win it through their backs The District cannot hold its own Against their fierce attacks. Though Gaffer Francis try the trick That brought proud Swinton low ('Twas he indeed that saved the match, As all you sportsmen know), This time his prowess bold will not 'Gainst Cardiff's team prevail, A goal, two tries, unto a goal Is my prophetic tale. Next, Taff with bruises handicapped, And aching bones withal, Against the gallant butcher boys Essay to try a fall. Penarth, a packet of surprise, Might very easy prove, But still I cannot give the score Save in the following groove. To Swansea one dropped goal we place, And likewise, too, a try. Penarth one lonely try will score- Dear laddies, don't you cry. yours to stick and keep right on And hold the goal in view, That Swansea some day you may meet And give her beanlets, too. Now next upon my list behold Llanelly take its stand Against Treorky from the hills" The victory to command. Tinplaters rise, adjust your socks, For sake of auld lang syne- A goal, two tries against a try, 'Tis thus to-day you'll shine. Victorious will the Tinmen be, And Neath victorious, too The latter in their turn take on The Pontardawe crew. Now Neath are making gallant strides, And should the victors be Two goals unto a try will form Their likely score, you'll see. Then Morristoii will take the palm And Aberavon smash, With Conway Rees to give 'em tastes Of his old pluck and dash. A goal, three tries to nil, should shake Their nerves, and Pontypridd By goal and try to try will make A Mountain (H)a.oh indeed! THE OFFICE POET. Llanelly has got a crisis of a peculiarly viru- lent character. The players have got out of hand a bit, and the committee have the triple job before them of purging the combination of a. rebellious spirit, making an honourable peace with the junior clubs, and getting out of debt. Sufficient for the season is the evil thereof. Players are hard to manage, because in Llanelly the number is limited, and a man with a swell-head can easily work a corner. Daniels who is a vice-captain of a peculiar kind, assists the committee by leading the mutiny-conduct for which he should be reduced to the ranks, and, if necessary, ejected. Better no football at all than football "bossed" by a Daniels. But that is one sore which can be healed by firm treatment. There is another that wants touching up. Good fellowship is not cultivated in the team, and the captain sets a bad example. Fancy one little coterie taking their rub down at a swell hotel, and leave the training- room to the others. This won't do all, I play for sport, and I don't get it with the first," was the reply of a youngster, whose team is like a band of brothers—and as mischievous as mon- keys. Percy Lloyd strikes me as player who has just missed being a real good 'un. Llanelly people have spoiled him. He learnt all he knows a bit too soon, The result is that he takes liberties with the play which would not be tolerated in some towns where the com- mittee have a real hold on the players. He can't take the ball on the drop, which is exactly what Every never fails to do, Yet, in the Morriston match, Percy twice at least bobbed in between Every and the ball and missed it every time. A sharp captain would have stopped this caper, but Lloyd is the captain—and no one chides him for this and for hugging the ball until it is too late for anyone else to do anything with it. When he does get aw,ay the pace is terrific, but half his success is due to a happy forgetfVmcss that there are fourteen other players wanting' a chance. I want to see Percy Lloyd taking up the reins in earnest, promoting sociability in the team, checking faults, and ceasing- to be a bad A Tight Scrimmage. example. Above all things, it is necessary for him to 611 his ears with wadding', so as not. to do the wrong- UHnr" merely because the crowd about when he gets on the run. Charlie Arthur bought to 'have some idea of how this afternoon's game will go. This morn- ing I tried to get his views. He was a bit guarded in His statement, but was willing to admit that there were one or two good men playing in the district team, and that the match as giving an idea of local junior talent ought to 1)6- valuable. Quite my opinion. —,—. Cardiff, he s>tys, ought to dross the district li&6 aftoni. *■' 'iipes. They may, of course, but, believe me, I don't think they will. There will probably be some do or die features in to-day's game. There are oi.e or two men in the team against Cardiff to-day that will require a lot of looking after. Harris is opposite Biggs, and the latter is a big handful for any one to attend to. The St. David's man, however, is no slouoh on the wing. Ho can start lively whenever he gets hold of the leather, and his times in recent sprints suggest that he wants some catching when he fairly gets away. Mills, on the other wing, is a bit lively, too. He is an old "saint," although he assists Cathays now. Once, when he played against the Cardiff second team, an official of the blue and blacks expressed no small surprise at the lively manner in which Charley threaded his way through his opponents. The secretary of the Cardiff Club is of the opinion that Cardiff have a better team this year than ever they have had since the days of the He Stopped Another Man's Foot. I redoubtable Hancock. The forwards, he imagines, is all right. Not over heavy, but clever and fast-an eight that want a lot of beating. The halves and three-quarters are sound, but not enough has been seen of Smith- son to say what he will turn out as in the posi- tion of custodian. Although Williams, who played in the recent trial matches for Cardiff, has not yet found his way into the first string, the committee have a good opinion of him. He will be given a bit of training in the Seconds before being put in the first fifteen. Cravos and Elsey are both unable to turn out this afternoon Dobson will therefore be seen in the front division of the blue and blacks. I hear that a new man is likely to be intro- duced into the Swansea First Fifteen against Penarth this afternoon as one result of the acci- dents at the last match. It is certain that if Coke finds the weather too bad for him to play in his not over-strong condition the new man— Ball-will be trotted out. Ball is not unknown in Monmouthshire as a capable full back, but he has recently come to Swansea to reside, and the Swansea committee, noting his play with the second fifteen last week, spotted some merit, ixtHisfe; I hope Ball will turn out a useful addition to the team. What thundering hypocrites we are," bawled an old-fashioned joker, who used to take somewhere in the seventies. What's the tumble," I mildly murmured. Simply this; every bally club official in Wales is down on payment for broken time—veiled professionalism, thin end of wedge, and all that sort of guff." "Well, shouldn't they?" He gasped, Shouldn't they, indeed Why, there are few iirst-class olubs that haven't paid or don't pay for broken time. They don't call it by that name, but a man with half an eye could find out clubs-and big ones, too-who do it all the time. What's the matter with Cooper P He has turned over Newport, and as soon as he gets his transfer will figure in the Bradford ranks. He has been in the North all the week, but returned to Abergavenny on Friday. He will only stay there long enough, however, to complete the necessary formalities of the transfer. The Yorkshire committee have not made any bones over the affair. Already they have granted Cooper a conditional transfer, and this looks as though they meant to have him whether the Newport club like it or not. Arthur Gould says that, 80 far as he knows, Cooper will assist the Usksiders this year, but Preparing for a Kick at Góal. I when a friend asked Gould if Cooper had definitely promised his services this year the international captain replied, Oh, we don't ask fellows to make promises like that!" The captain of the Abergavenny Football Club stated the other day that Cooper would assist his team in their match against Dowlais on Bailey Park to-day. In the abeence of Cooper from the Newport quartette the third line will be Dauftcey and Young on the wing, with Charley Thomas and Arthur Gould in the centre. Edmunds, of Usk, is a promising three-quarter. He will be tried in the Newport second string for a time. lie will probably be given a trial in the first later on. The match at Newport to-day may end any- how. Gould thinks Newport ought to win, but as they have never taken on Birkenhead before he could not say a lot about the match. Well, one never knows. The Llanelly committee ought to exercise more tact in their dealings with the junior teatns. These young colts are skittish, but, under skilful treatment, could be made docile. Just now, unfortunately, the juniors have a long string of injustices suffered. "We beat your A team twice last year," say the Seaside Stars, 1, and when you took away BenDavies, Every, and Badger we decided to throw in our lot with the A.' But what happened Not one of us was selected. Between two stools we came to the ground. This must not happen again. Even- handed justice pays best in the long run. As for the Juniors themselves, they deserve a dressing for standing off and letting the old club struggle along without them. Where is the old I spirit of Llanelly, boys. ? They are merely I biting off their own noses to spite the face. If football drops back at Llanelly it will be because i they are not game enough and' patriotio enough to sink little differences, and lend a, hand to j pull the old ship out of the breakers. "Play for j the first! why we are better off," said one of these a few days ago "We have £ 6 in hand; the first is £ 150 in debt." This is a spirit to keep under. These debt." This is a spirit to keep under. These lads ought to think of something besides them-1 selves. It was not as they talk that those talked who after one stubborn fight after another worked the tin-plate town to the top of the tree. Oh, no; there was but one club then all others were but nurseries, I have done with preaching for the day. Llanelly will triumph over its difficulties, and emerge from these troubles stronger than ever -if the sons of Llanelly are but true to her. It is for the committee to work out the change,and every time they check a Daniels, chide a Lloyd when he deserves it, and win over a good colt from the crowd of juniors, I'll shout "More power to their elbows." The Northerners have fairly cottoned to the four three-quarter game. On Saturday last I noticed some dozens of clubs, including Swintoa, Salford, Oldham, Broughton Rangers, Leeds, Tydesley, Warrington, Wigan, Huddersfield, and Halifax all adopting the quartette system of three-quarters. We shall have to invent something new for the poachers to copy. The Leeds team, by the way, more out of compliment to the visit of F. R. Alderson and the Hartlepool Rovers than anything else' played four three-quarters. Whether the Rovers had gone wrong or Leeds had taken particular fancy to the change cannot be x. plained, but the visitors got a fearful licking to the tune of six goals to none. Cardiff must look out on November 22. Quite a miniature international will take place at Holloway, London, to-day where the London Caledonians meet their friends who represent" gallant little Wales in the Metro- polis. Rumsey Williams will have a strong lot of Taffies in the field, and hopes that they will make a good show for the honour of the Father land. Referees have been known to give correct de- cisions. In civilised times the referee formed a succulent after-meal for the two teams. Nowa- days the practice seems to have become almost obsolete, and the poor official receives the un- kinder treatment of splenetic and venomous tirades of abuse. A proper referee should be short-sighted and have the gout. These quali- fications effectually obviate mistakes, for he cannot be far out if he penalise the appealing side. The linesman has nothing much to do but wave a flag and argue with the crowd, but it is generally admitted he does it well. WELSH ATHLETE.

GOT REPORT AFTER ALL. Tory Paper Excluded from Cardiff Radical Meeting. A numerously-attended meeting of the execu- tive committee of the Cardiff Liberal Associa- tion was held on Friday evening at the offices of the association, Queen-street, Cardiff. The proceedings were semi-private. A representa tive of the South Wales Daily News was admitted) a Western Mail representative was excluded. Among those present were: Dr. Edwards, Mr. Lewis Williams, Alderman David Jones, Coun- cillors Edward Thomas, B. John, F. L. Short, J. Jenkins, Morgan Morgan, W. Lewis, and Munn. Dr. James Mullin and Mr. Ex-Coun- cillor Mildon were also in attendance. This was the largest meeting of the executive com- mittee held within the last few years, and Mr. R. Bird, on taking the chair, had a cordial reception. Mr. Bird suitably thanked the members for tke honour they had con- ferred upon him in selecting him as chairman of the association. It was only a strong sense of duty that had in- duced him to accept the invitation of the Liberal Thousand. At the first meeting of the Liberal Thousand he intended to speak fully as to the manner in which the meetings should be con- ducted.-The minutes having been read, Mr. B: 1 proposed that an illuminated address, expressive of Mr. Rees Jones's services to the Liberal party, should be presented.—This was seconded and earried unanimously, the presen tation to be made at the first meeting of th Liberal Thousand. — The next business was to consider the proposed invitation to the National Liberal Federation to pay a visit to Cardiff, and it was stated that, after a long correspondence, it was ascertained that should an invitation be forwarded from Cardiff it would be very favourably received by the members of the federation. Mr. Bird proposed that an invitation be sent to the federation to hold its meetings in Cardiff before the next session of Parliament. This was seconded and carried with applause. The correspondence with Dr. Treharne was read and a long discus- sion ensued, the effect of which is that the matter is still in statu quo. The executive of the Liberal Association, it was pointed out, has no power to appoint ward com- mittees, the committees of the various wards having complete and entire control of their own affairs. The feeling was expressed that the Liberal party was as much alive to the welfare of the borough as Dr. Treharne, and the senti- ments of Mr. Bird, in his reply to Dr. Treharne, were strongly approved. The executive com- mittee, as a purely administrative committee, has nothing to do with matters of policy. The Liberal Thousand can in no wise commit the ward committees, each of which has full power to act independently. The following is the correspondence referred to above:— CHAIRMAN OF CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION TO MR. R. BIRD. Salisbury-chambers, Castle Arcade, Cardiff, September 14, 1893. To ROBERT BIRD, Esq., J.P., President of the Cardiff Liberal Association. Dear Sir,-In view of the approaching municipal lp elections and the importance they possess to the future well-being of the town, I venture, as chairman of the Cardiff Conservative Association, to approach you as the leader of the local Liberal party, for the purpose of ascertaining your opinion as to the desirability or otherwise of holding a Round Table conference of, say, half a. dozen representative men of each party to discuss the situation. I am led to take this step as voicing an important and increasing section of the community, who feel that the welfare of the borough is of sufficient interest to command the services of its best and ablest citizens, irrespective of party politick, thereby securing for the Welsh Metropolis that position amongst other municipalities to which it is entitled. I remain, dear sir, Yours faithfully, J. LL. TREHARNE. CHAIRMAN OF LIBERAL ASSOCIATION TO DR. TREHARNE. Ellerslie, Cardiff, Sept. 16, 1893. J. LL. TREHARNE, Esq., President of the Cardiff Conservative Association, Cardiff. My dear Sir,—I am favoured with your letter of the 14th current, for which I am obliged. I fully sympathise with you in your expressed desire that it may be possible to arrive at some understanding whereby the municipal elections may be raised above mere party questions; and. personally, I should be glad if a "Hound Table conference" could be ai-ranged with this object in view. At the same time, I am keenly alive to the great difficulty that both you and your friends, aA well as ourselves, would have in con- trolling the rank and file of our respective parties in these matters. Of course, as you are aware, it would be quite impos- sible for us to make arrrngements whereby these con- tests could be absolutely avoided and, further, I fear the action of your friends in regard to one of the elections at Canton last year would not help us in arriving at au amicable understanding. I am informed that both parties oil this occasion agreed that the re- turn of Mr. Symonds should not be contested, and then as soon as an independent candidate appeared upon the field and our party thereby divided, your friends at once brought out a man who, taking advan- tage of the circumstance, captured the seat. Of course, unless we could guarantee that there should be no repetition of conduct of this kind it would be utterly impossible for us to persuade our friends to come to such an understanding as you naturally, and I believe with the very best intentions, Have you consulted with some of your leading friends on this matter ? I will take the earliest opportunity of ascertaining the views of some of our friends, and will again have this pleasure. Yours very truly, ROBERT BIRD. DR. TREHARNE TO MR. BIRD. Salisbury-chambers, Castle Arcade, Cardiff, September 21, 1893. To ROBERT BIRD, Esq., J.P. My dear Sir,—I have much pleasure in acknowledg- ing the receipt of your letter in reply to my proposal of the 14th inst. Your information that, "in regard to one of the elections at Canton last year," there was any breach of agreement is incorrect, which fact can be cate- gorically proved by indisputable evidence at our com- mand j and if, as you say, municipal elections are to be raised above mere party," I consider, references to contentions of the past will not assist it our arriving at an agreement in the present. I am glad to find you sympathise with our desire to elevate the conditions of local public life, and while I fully appreciate the difficulties to which you refer they ought not in my judgment to offer an insuper- able barrier to an amicable understanding. Your suggestion that, as a basis of preliminary negotiation, we, the minority on the governing body of the town, should guarantee never to assail a Liberal seat is, I assume, not seriously intended, since I am quite in accord with you when you state it would be quite impossible for us to make arrangements whereby these contests could be absolutely avoided." I shall be happy (0 hear from you as soon as you have ascertained the views of your friends on the merits of my proposal made in my capacity as chair- man of the Carditf Conservative Association after consultation and with the full concurrence and authJ- rity ol my party, I remain, my dear sir, Yours faithfully, J. LL. 'IREBARNE. BIB. BIRD TO DR. TREHARNE. Cardiff, Sept. 23, 1893. My dear Sir,—I am in reccipt of your favour of the 21st. We are 1 aving a meeting of the executive com- mittee the end of next week, when I will take the opportunity of ascertaining the views of our friends upon the question. In the meantime, Believe me, yours very truly, ROBT. BIRD. J. Ll. Treharne, Esq., J.P., Cardiff.

Joseph Murray, miner, of no fixed abode, was sent to prison for fourteen days with hard labour at the Neath County Police-court on Friday for stealing 2s. from the till of Mrs. Wilkingson, Villiers-street, Briton Ferry. The final meeting of the series now being held in Cardiff in connection with the British Women's Temperance Association is to be held at the Pkrk-hall, and is expected to be an appropriate climax to the autumnal gatherings. It is desi- rable that tickets should be secured beforehand. A portion of the hall will be free. Lady Henry Somerset will preside, and the speakers will include Mrs. Wynford Philipps, Mrs. Pearsall Smith, and Miss Florence Balgarnie. On Wednesday evening last a little girl named Florence Matilda Clift, six years of age, living with her parents in Pleasant View, Pen- tre, fell into a bucket of boiling water, sustaining- such frightful injuries that she succumbed on Thursday. An inquest was held on Friday, when a verdict of "Accidental death" w; returned. Our Barry representative was officially i:, formed on Friday afternoon that the inteiitIL, meeting of the direotors of the BMry' Railway Company was not hold.

SERVANT GIRL MURDERED. Her Sweetheart is Charged with the Crime at Bath. At Weston, near Bath, on Friday Arthur Stevenson Coombs, twenty, apprentice at Messrs Fuller's coach building factory. Bath, and living at 25, King'smead-terrace, was charged with the murder of Elsie Adeline Luke, alias Wilkie, at Hampton Down, during August, 1891. The accused, who is a thin, pale young fellow, looking older than the age stated, was in an agitated condition. He was defended by Mr. E. B. Titley, of Bath, who asked permission to reserve cross-examination. Superintendent Rutherford said that when he apprehended Coombs at his work on Thursday evening accused said, I did not do it I kept companv with her. After that I am of no use to you." Mr.D.S.Smith said he had known Coombs from childhood. On Thursday evening he said to him, Arthur, I have sad news for you," and pri- soner replied, Not for me, Mr. Smith." Wit- ness then told him Superintendent Rutherford had a warrant for his arrest, and accused asked how they could be sure the remains w^re those of Luke. Witness told him of the identification by Mrs. Kerry, who employed Luke as cook, from March to July, 1891. Mrs. Kerry identified the linen produced as her property, and stated she had missed similar things after Luke left. Witness had burned several things, including letteis found in the box left behind by the deceased. John Edwards,|a fishmonger's assistant, said he had seen the prisoner and Luke together. Some time ago he had a conversation with Coombs, who said she ought to be dead or killed. Witness was not certain to whom accused re- ferred, but he supposed the girl Luke was meant. Edwards was here requested to confine himself to plain, straightforward answers. Witness, in answer to further questions, said he might have opened conversation with Coombs by saying, I don't see you now at the railway mission with so lUll so," meaning Wilkie. but he could not pledge himself to chat. Kate Bullock, a fellow servant of the deceased, said Luke was frequently visited by a young man whom she used to take down to the -C cellar. He was fair, and she believed rather curly. Mrs. Dillon, with whom deceased stayed from the Saturday before Bank Holiday till the fol- lowing Monday, identified as Wilkie s property the hat picked up on the Downs. She said the deceased was a highly respectable girl. The hearing- was adjourned till Tuesday. The police have found that Wilkie's step- father is at the Emigrants Home, Blackwall, London.

THE DRUM POLITICAL. Radicals in Despair at Headquai-tecs. Considerable approhensions are felt at the Radical headquarters as to the result of Mr. Gladstone's speech, says the London correspon- dent of the Manchester Courier, At the National Liberal Club the younger members generally censured it as tame and likely to dis- courage the party. The general apathy of the constituencies is causing considerable alarm among the faithful. A wag made the suggestion that Henry Fowler should be sent round to rouse them up," but I regret to say the pro- pospl was received with profused merriment. J

Cholera Abating. • MORE SATISFACTORY REPORTS1 AT HOME. j The Scourge Still Claiming Many Victims Abroad. The following' is the official bulletin issued on 1 Friday by the Local Government Board :-The only cases of cholera or choleraic diarrhoea noti. I fied to the board as occurring yesterday were one at Hull, and one at Great Yarmouth. Dr. Klein regards the material of the latter to be characteristic of true cholera. A suspicions case (fatal) on the 26th is reported from West Mailing, and is being further investigated. The official statement was again misquoted yesterday in certain papers. There have been five cases of cholera at Tividale and Rowley Regis, two only of which have proved fatal. j ABROAD. 1 A Reuter's telegram from Buda-Pesth on Fri- 'i day says :—Three cases of cholera were reported •! day says :—Three cases of cholera were reported •! here yesterday.
